home brew "fertiliser"

[out in the cold]

Quick question.

I seem to remember hearing ages ago that home brew that had gone off was good for using in the garden.

I have some beer in a bag stuff that I had forgotten about, which is now past its use by date. It used to be a brown ale (passable when it was fresh).

Has anyone ever tried this in the garden?

I was thinking beer traps for slugs could be one use, but if it will make my cabbages great, or give me fabulous rhubarb, I think I would rather try that.

I have around 10 litres or so of it left.

I just chuck it on the compost heap, it all helps

my dad used to work in a distillery. The wort, the liquid, goes through the distillation process first of all through the spirit still, it then gets some water added and is distilled again through the wash still and what is left afterwards is called burnt ale. Basically a mix of yeast and a concentrate of everything else. That was pumped to a holding tank and after cooling was spread on farmland by the thousands of gallons. Your home brew residue is basically the same stuff - a good organic brew.
